Silent No More – Addicted 2 Decorating®

I’ve heard so many people say that he was a terrible and divisive person, but I have yet to see any of that in the hours and hours of videos I’ve watched. Yes, he had his own positions on issues, and he was there to debate those issues, but he wasn’t unkind about it. The only time I ever saw him lose his temper wasn’t with a college student, it was with a peer, Cenk Uyger of The Young Turks. And let’s face it, Cenk has dished that out to others plenty of times over the years, so I give Charlie a pass on that one. But with college students, he was calm, compassionate, but firm on his stances. And that’s okay. It is okay for people to have differing opinions and ideas. Again, we don’t live in a country where the punishment for an opinion someone doesn’t like should be the death penalty.

But the most impressive thing I saw in these videos, something that I honestly didn’t know about Charlie Kirk until these last few days, was how bold he was about his faith. Charlie was a Christian, as I am. Charlie’s faith was in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as mine is. But Charlie spent his years boldly proclaiming that faith to college students. I’ve had a public platform for 17 years and, for the most part, have kept my faith to myself.

Well, no more. I don’t know if you can tell or if you have witnessed or felt it, but something has shifted in the air over the last few days. I can’t even count how many comments I’ve seen from people online from people saying things like, “I’ve been an atheist all my life, but because of this, I’ve read the Bible for the first time in my life.” Or, “I haven’t stepped foot inside a church in my entire life, but because of this, my family is going to church this Sunday.” I’ve personally seen hundreds of comments like that, and I don’t doubt that there are thousands and thousands more that I haven’t seen. Last night on Threads alone, I read at least a hundred of them, but they’re everywhere. I’ve never in my life seen a more tangible example of, “What Satan means for evil, God uses for good.”
